We Grew Up Together

Verse

She had me at 19, single mom

Didn't know how to be a mom yet

So we grew up together

Life wasn't perfect, it was hard

You worked so many jobs

I knew we weren't close but that's because you were trying to keep me alive

Chorus

I have to thank you Mom for teaching me about life

No matter what you or I do, no matter how we fight

I'll always love you Mom, never doubt that

I know you think you've watched just me grow

But I watched you grow too

Verse

Into a woman I respect so

I probably don't tell you enough

You gave up a lot to try to give me something

We both got used by people that we trusted

We're both so much alike just in different ways

My fierceness and my pride, that's all from mama

Chorus

Through every up and down we survived

I have to thank you Mom for teaching me about life

No matter what you or I do, no matter how we fight

I'll always love you Mom, never doubt that
